00:17Let's now work on the body of the fox. You're going to be using a 9mm crochet hook to crochet
00:25the body and for the tail. To begin round one for the body, you're going to pick up where
00:31you left off for the head and you're going to make two chains to start. We're going to
00:41double crochet around for this first round. So insert a double crochet into each stitch
00:47around. The stitches might feel a little tight because they are made with 6mm hooks and you're
00:59now using a 9mm hook. So wiggle if you need to to get into each stitch.
01:49at the end of the round we're going to join with a slip stitch to the very first double crochet
01:58for round two of the body it's going to determine the width of my scarf currently round one is 18
02:05stitches around for round two in my pattern I wrote it to be 20 stitches around so it's
02:13going to be slightly wider here and that's going to be the right width to go around my neck but
02:20if you
02:20want to make yours even wider or thinner you are welcome to change that when you make your scarf
02:30wider than mine you're going to want to add more increases in the second round in round two of my
02:37pattern I'm writing that you will be making just two increases in this round for that 20 stitches
02:44but again if you want to make it more like let's say you want to increase six times around you
02:51can
02:51do that and have a wider scarf all right so let me show you how to do round two based
02:58off my pattern
02:59you're going to make two chains and then you're going to insert um eight double crochets one two
03:14three oops slippery yarn here it feels amazing it's just slippery for me to work with from this angle
03:24I find it really awkward to be recording myself when crocheting by the way because it's very hard
03:32to be able to sit and look over a camera at what my hands are doing but I'm managing all
03:41right one two
03:43three four five six seven eight great after eight single eight double crochets you're going to make an
03:51increase so in this next stitch I'm inserting two double crochets in the very in the same stitch
03:59there's my increase and I'm repeating that again so eight double crochets and another increase you'll want
04:08to join your stitch um excuse me join your round at the end of this round
04:17again always join to the very first double crochet that you make
04:37and that's that for um round two
04:42now this is as wide as my scarf is going to be um if you again if you wanted it
04:48wider please adjust
04:49accordingly for round two it's going to be very easy to um just go with whatever um stitch count you
04:57want because for the next long stretch of the pattern and I'm doing it from round three to 18
05:03you can make yours longer if you want but I'm just going to be double crocheting around
05:09straight rounds no increasing no decreasing so um you're going to want um the length to be
05:18able to wrap around your neck comfortably and if you again if you want a shorter scarf just don't go
05:26all the way up to round 18 if you want a longer scarf add more rounds until your scarf is
05:33at the desired
05:34length you'll want to make sure again to double check the length by wrapping it around your neck
05:40before we start decreasing for the tail after round 18
05:46here's a look at my scarf with round 18 complete we've gone from 3 to 18 here and again if
05:55you want
05:55to adjust the size the length excuse me just add more rounds or decrease more rounds all right from
06:03here on out we're going to get ready to finish the body and then make the tail we're going to
06:09now make
06:09a couple decrease rounds for the body before we wrap up for this next round round 19 we're going to
06:18chain
06:18two and then decrease all the way around we're doing double crochet decreases so we're double crocheting two
06:27stitches together
07:06all right and now at the end of the round i'm simply going to join with a slip stitch to
07:12the
07:13um first double crochet stitch made or the first decrease stitch made and then for round 20 chain
07:22two and once more decrease around i'm double crocheting each pair of stitches together and you should get a
07:32total of five stitches or five double crochet decreases at the very end of this round
07:50and once more slip stitch to join
07:54at this point um your scarf would have narrowed down as you can see here's the end of it
08:05and now um when you finish that we're not going to fasten off yet because we're still going to continue
08:11working with this red yarn um and we're now going to work on the tail and continue using the nine
08:19millimeter hook
